Do I Need Tutoring?
This is a very common question. In case you are unsure of the answer, here are some questions to ask yourself:
- Have you missed classes due to illness, business, or a family emergency?
- Are you having difficulty understanding the material that is presented in class?
- Was your exam score lower than you expected?
- Is your lab assignment not working properly?
- Have you been away from the class environment for a number of years?
- Do you suffer from test anxiety?
- Are your study habits lacking?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the ASC can assist you.
